Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters July 27, 2004 Although a New York band, Scissor Sisters (as evidenced by this debut disc) are definitely not part of the typical New York scene, eschewing garage and no wave to embrace campier, glammier 70s and 80s rock and dance music sounds.

	80 536. Kid A by Radiohead October 3, 2000 Seemingly unwilling to stick to a successful formula, Radiohead follow their breakthrough album 'OK Computer' with this much more experimental work (recorded during sessions that also spawned the later-released 'Amnesiac' album), which ventures even further away from conventional song structure and embraces electronica more fully (even sounding at times like Aphex Twin).

	80 540. Let Go by Nada Surf February 4, 2003 One-hit wonders, you say?
